How to export development plan raw data


Navigate to the Development plans page

  1. Log in to your Culture Amp account.

  2. Go to Develop > Development plans from the homepage.

Open the reporting section

On the Development Plans page, navigate to the Reporting section. You’ll see three key views:

  • Insight view: Aggregate data, filterable by employee groups.

  • Participation view: Completion status of development plans across employees.

  • Employee view: Detailed information about individual employees’ development plans, filterable by demographic groups.

Export the data

  1. In the top-right corner of the Employees tab, click Export plans.

  2. Wait for the system to generate the CSV file. This may take a few seconds.

What’s included in the export?


The CSV file contains the most recent development plan for each employee. If an employee has multiple development plans, only the most recent one is included.

Key data fields:

  • Employee information:

    • Employee ID

    • Employee Email

    • Hierarchy Manager Email

    • Development Manager Email (if different)

  • Plan details:

    • Last Updated Date

    • Focus Area: Promotion, current role development, or exploring options

    • 6-Month and Long-Term Objectives

    • Clarity on Future Goals (as self-reported by the employee)

    • Strengths, Motivators, and Growth Areas

How to use the data


Custom analyses and visualizations

This can help inform strategic decisions like program allocation and workforce planning.

Trend analysis with AI

Best practices
